UK Court Adjourns Poco Lee’s Pre-Trial Hearing to February 2027

September 15, 2026 By Sheba James Gala
A United Kingdom court has adjourned the pre-trial hearing of Nigerian dancer and entertainer Iweh Pascal Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, to February 2027.

The case came up on Tuesday, September 15, at Snaresbrook Crown Court, but the scheduled plea and trial preparation hearing could not proceed after the charge sheet was reportedly unavailable. Poco Lee consequently did not enter a plea.

The court has now fixed February 8, 2027, for the next plea and trial preparation hearing. His trial is scheduled to begin on March 8, 2027. Poco Lee remains on bail as the legal proceedings continue.

The entertainer faces allegations in a UK sexual-offence case. The charges remain allegations, and Poco Lee has not been convicted.
